The Israeli Air Force struck and killed several Hezbollah operatives who “violated the ceasefire understandings” and posed a threat to troops in southern Lebanon in the past day, the military says.
In one incident earlier today, troops of the Golani Brigade spotted several operatives near the village of Qoussair who “crossed the forward defense line, and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat,” the military says.
In two incidents yesterday in the same area, the IDF says it identified “armed terrorists” who also crossed the ceasefire line.
In all three incidents, the Israeli Air Force “struck the terrorists to remove the threat,” the military says.
